Meeting a local Billionaire, HELP

Hey BP family!

I decided to take action this year and have already made some waves in the pool. After a year of fear and second guessing myself I sent a letter stating my search for a mentor to the founder of a local REI firm.

This week his assistant reached out and set up a meeting for TOMORROW (1/19/19).

He and his company has over $2 billion in apartment holdings and I am wanting to make best use of our time together. I am sure not everyone gets a chance to meet with this individual but one of my other companies allowed me access to him and I didn't want to regret not taking a chance.

With that being said..... 

What would be some advice for a 1 hour meeting with someone who could completely change the way I am doing things?

How can I structure this meeting to not waste his time and also best show my knowledge? 

Has anyone found a mentor with billions in assets right from the start? 

What questions or main topics should be covered?

What would be the one thing to NOT discuss?

Am I in over my head?

I am very nervous about this as I do not want to miss an opportunity to find a mentor who is at the top of their game. This could completely change things and I want to be sure to crush this hour I have been allotted.

THANKS in advance BP
